In 2024, the Wood Pellet Association of Canada (WPAC), in partnership with BioPower Sustainable Energy Corporation (BioPower), conducted a comprehensive analysis of the feasibility and economic implications of using an in-woods grinder to process forest biomass so it can be used for wood pellets. BioPower, a Canadian manufacturer of commercial and residential grade wood pellets, carried out all the field tests at its operations in Northern Ontario near Atikokan, including the collection and analysis of feedstock samples, pelletization, and data collection. Its expertise and hands-on involvement helped to validate the economic and technical feasibility of using forest biomass for wood pellet production.
